Padre Pio was a Capuchin priest known for his great faith in God. He received the stigmata and had gifts like prophecy, conversion, and miraculous cures through prayer. His works helped convert many people and build a hospital. However, he suffered greatly from the stigmata wounds and spiritual attacks by the devil. Despite this, he persevered in his love and faith in God as a model of faith.

The Riot
Roberto Troiolo from the Gideons joined us to share about their work and from Acts 19:23-41, "How to cause a riot", continuing our series on "Paul: a man with a mission".
Restore: to bring Back, to return to it's Original condition
We've got to allow God to strip down all the years of grime and cheap paint piled on top of each other. He needs to get down to the bare original so He can begin to fill the cracks, sand the rough edges, and make our hearts beautiful again. He’s already looked beneath the layers and has determined that we're all worth doing over.

Blessed James Alberione
Blessed James Alberione was an Italian priest and founder of the Pauline Family, a Catholic religious institute dedicated to evangelization using modern communication technologies. He had a vision in 1899 to spread the gospel using media like books, magazines, radio, film and more. He established the Society of Saint Paul and Daughters of Saint Paul to produce Catholic media and the Pauline Cooperators to support this mission. His goal was to make the teachings of Saint Paul relevant to modern times through various forms of mass media.
John the baptist revised
John the Baptist was a relative and precursor of Jesus who lived in the Judean desert. He baptized people in the Jordan River and preached repentance. John recognized Jesus as the Messiah and baptized him, marking the start of Jesus' public ministry. However, John criticized Herod Antipas for marrying his brother's wife, resulting in Herod beheading John at the request of Salome. John paved the way for Jesus and is considered the forerunner of the Messiah.

The audiobook provides an honest look at Jesus of Nazareth by addressing difficult issues in Christianity.
John the baptist presentation
Very short study on the life of John the Baptist as a preparatory figure for the greater work of Christ. This work was submitted for partial fulfillment of a New Testament course that I took from Liberty University in 2012.
Basic christian growth
This document provides guidance on basic Christian growth through becoming more like Christ in thoughts, words, and deeds. It recommends focusing on consuming nourishing spiritual foods like the word of God found in the Bible and Catholic Church teachings. Engaging in prayer both individually and communally is also encouraged, as well as participating in prayer meetings and apostolate work. The overall message is that spiritual growth happens through understanding and living according to the teachings of Christ.
True worshippers
This document discusses the importance of worship throughout the Bible and examines Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well about true worship. It makes several key points:
1) Jesus talks about worship with a morally wounded woman at the well, suggesting that true worshippers are those who recognize their need for worship.
2) When discussing worship, Jesus focuses more on what worship is not (geography, race, terminology, enthusiasm) rather than providing a strict definition.
3) True worship is done in spirit (sincerity of heart) and in truth (genuineness), not based on external factors.
4) Worship leads to a deeper revelation of God and a drive to spread the gospel

20th July 2016 - Biblical Fasting
Biblical fasting is a spiritual discipline encouraged by Jesus where Christians deprive their body of food and nourishment to draw closer to God through prayer and meditation. Fasting should be done humbly and sincerely with the right attitudes and motives such as seeking God's will, helping others in need, and pursuing spiritual revival. When practiced correctly, fasting can strengthen a person spiritually and increase their sensitivity to God as their physical hunger and weakness draws them to rely more on God's strength.

The document concludes by thanking the readers.
Vintage great adventure_part11_4.14.13
Paul finds disciples in Ephesus who have only experienced John's baptism and not received the Holy Spirit. He baptizes them in the name of Jesus and lays hands on them so they receive the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophesying. Paul then spends two years in Ephesus teaching about the kingdom of God in the hall of Tyrannus, so that all residents of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, hear the word of the Lord.
The Unity of the Gospel
The document discusses the unity of the gospel and the church. It explores the concepts of "adders" who seek unity, and "splitters" who focus on differences. While unity is important, it must be based on the central teachings of the gospel. Paul accepted unity only if it was founded on proclaiming salvation through faith in Christ alone. The early church found unity in diversity, with both Jews and Gentiles receiving the same message of freedom through the gospel, though the message was delivered in different ways. Maintaining a united church requires avoiding the temptation to control others or compromise the truth of the gospel for the sake of unity.
31st may 2016 - An awakening...
This document discusses the concept of spiritual awakening from a biblical perspective. It defines spiritual awakening as being resurrected from spiritual death, not waking up from spiritual sleep.

It is characterized by a new heart that wants to please and obey God. Spiritual awakening begins when Jesus sheds His light upon us, awakening us from living in darkness and the shadow of death to salvation.

Jesus heals[1]
Jesus healed many people who came to him suffering from various illnesses and disabilities. He healed the lame, blind, deformed, and mute by curing them when they were brought to him. The crowds were amazed to see these people who were previously unable to speak, walk, or see, now healed. They recognized this as a sign that Jesus had healing powers from God. The document then discusses several specific healing stories from the Bible and examines the factors involved in Jesus' healing ministry, such as faith, belief, humility, and deliverance from evil. It aims to help readers understand Jesus' role as a healer and apply the lessons to their own lives.
9th January 2017 - Disciples of Jesus - Philip
Philip was one of Jesus's earliest followers. He was from Bethsaida in Galilee and likely knew Peter and Andrew. Philip struggled to understand Jesus's miracles and teachings but eagerly spread the gospel after Jesus's resurrection. Tradition holds that Philip preached in Asia Minor and was martyred in Hierapolis. He played a key role in feeding the 5,000 and introducing Nathanael to Jesus. Philip demonstrated missionary zeal and brought others to faith, though he wavered at times in his understanding of Jesus's identity and power.

Mark 1 21 28
The document summarizes a Bible study on Mark 1:21-28. It discusses Jesus teaching with authority in the synagogue in Capernaum on the Sabbath. When a man with an unclean spirit interrupts, crying out that Jesus has come to destroy it, Jesus rebukes the spirit and it leaves the man convulsing. The discussion questions consider what made Jesus' teaching different from scribes, the response of the man with the unclean spirit, and how Jesus could radically change people's lives and priorities today by his authoritative teaching and power over evil spirits.

3. Detailed outlines are given for constructing an effective personal testimony, with sections on life before and after faith in Jesus and how one came to believe. Guidelines emphasize glorifying God and focusing on Jesus.
God's power to heal
1) Jesus sent his disciples to preach about God's love and tell people that Jesus had come. He told them that if they believed, they could lay hands on the sick and pray for healing through God's power.
2) The Bible says that prayer allows us to call on God's miracle-working power. If believers lay hands on the sick and claim God's promises of healing, they can trust that Jesus will perform miracles.
3) God does not always heal immediately; sometimes He chooses to heal the spirit or heart first before the body. Overall, believers can have faith that God will do what is best for them, even if they do not understand how or when healing will come.
som-103 The good news according to jonah
The document summarizes the story of Jonah and Nineveh from the Bible. It discusses how Jonah reluctantly proclaimed God's message of destruction to Nineveh. The people of Nineveh believed God, repented of their sins, and God spared the city. The document then reflects on how the gospel message was progressively communicated to and received by the people of Nineveh. It also draws parallels between Jonah's story and the relationship between God, Jonah, and the pagans, and challenges about effectively sharing the gospel message with those outside the faith.

The parable of the prodigal son
The Parable of the Prodigal Son tells the story of a man with two sons. The younger son asks for his inheritance and leaves home, squandering his money. He ends up poor and hungry, so he returns home to ask for forgiveness. His father welcomes him back with open arms and celebrates his return. The older son is angry that his brother was celebrated after wasting his money. The father explains that they are celebrating the return of the lost son.
Creeds
The document presents the text of the Nicene Creed, which outlines core Christian beliefs about God as one in three persons, Jesus Christ as God's son who was crucified and resurrected, and beliefs about the Holy Spirit and the Church.

St damien
St. Damien de Veuster contracted leprosy while living and serving on the Pacific island of Molokai in the late 1800s. In the early 1800s, Hawaiian officials quarantined anyone with leprosy on Molokai, leaving them without support. When St. Damien heard of their situation, he asked to serve the isolated people on Molokai. He lived among and cared for them until his death from leprosy in 1889, bringing them dignity and the love of God.
Reflection
While some feel nervous about confession, confessing sins directly to God at home is not an option according to Catholic teaching. Confession to a priest is a sacrament instituted by Christ to obtain forgiveness for sins committed after baptism, and regular confession helps the penitent to examine their conscience and avoid sin in the future through the guidance of a priest and God's grace.
